Grommet

ABSTRACT

A sealing grommet, particularly for data centers and the like, formed of one or a pair of U-shaped frame sections, each co-molded with a thermoplastic elastomeric seal of corrugated wave form, with corrugated edges of the seals exposed at the open sides of the U-shaped frames. A pair of such grommet sections joined together, with the corrugated edges arranged to be in contact and in phase, provides a uniquely efficient seal to hold back air under pressure while allowing various pass-through elements, such as cables, hoses, etc., to be extended through the grommet and while enabling the pass-through elements to be easily added, removed, or rearranged as may be necessary to accommodate the dynamic changes experienced in the operation of a data center.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view from above of the grommet in accordance with the new design; and,

FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the grommet of FIG. 1.

The broken lines are intended to show environmental structure and form no part of the claimed design. The front, back, sides and bottom form no part of the claimed design. 

CLAIM The ornamental design for a grommet, as shown and described.
